CHAPTER 6
The sky
was dark, from all the bombs in the air. Every minute more and more
patients...were brought in. "Nurse! Get in here!" screamed the
doctor. "I'm coming!" yelled Elaine. "This patient...is going to
die here...but I want you to keep him comfortable. It'll be a matter of days
before he days..but just talk to him." said the
doctor. "Alright..I'll give him morphine to keep
him calm as well." siad Elaine. She hated seeing
people die...but she loved to help them recover..that
is why she had become a nurse. "I'm Nurse McWaley,
but you can call me Elaine." she said as she smiled. "Well, hello. I'm..my name..is Peter." he
said. "Hello, it's very nice to meet you, Peter. I'm just going to give
you a bit of morphine." she said. "Don't. I'm going to die aren't
I??" he asked sadly. "Of course not! Morphine will help, you trust
me." she said. Peter smiled softly, though he knew Elaine was lying.
"Rafe..I love you so much...Please, be
careful." sobbed Evelyn. Rafe had volunteered to
fight. He was leaving today. "Take care of yourself buddy." Danny
said. "I will, don't you two worry about me..I
will come back. I love you both. I just hope my little sister..is
okay." said Rafe. "Who cares about her? I
care about you only." said Evelyn. "hey, now, she's my little sister
and I love her. DOn't worry about me, I love
you." he said as he kissed her softly. Then he got, on the train. Danny adn Evelyn watched in fear as he had drove off.
On the way home, Danny had thought about Elaine. He had thought about how much
he missed her. She hadn't written a letter to him in so long. He had wondered
if something was wrong, but he remembered her words"I'll
come back" and a smile came onto his face.
